Homework

What you will turn in for Spring Lab

Data tables for all 3 experiments performed for spring lab (clearly labeled and identified) either typed up or neatly written
Unlinearized data for all 3 experiments performed graphed either on excel/google spreadsheet or neatly handdrawn and a statement about the relationship between the variables and how you know.
Data table showing unlinearized to linearized data for period vs. mass graph (either typed or neatly written)
Graph of appropriate linearized data done BY HAND, including an appropriate best-fit-line
Narrative walking someone through the significance of this linearized data and how it will allow us to get the experimental value of the spring constant of our spring.
Find your experimental spring constant

What you will turn in for Pendulum Lab

Data tables for the 2 experiments performed for pendulum lab (clearly labeled and identified) either typed up or neatly written
Unlinearized data for the 2 experiments performed graphed either on excel/google spreadsheet or neatly handdrawn and a statement about the relationship between the variables and how you know.
Data table showing unlinearized to linearized data for the period vs. length graph (either typed or neatly written)
Graph of appropriate linearized data done BY HAND, including an appropriate best-fit-line
Narrative walking someone through the significance of this linearized data and how it will allow us to get the experimental value of acceleration due to gravity.
Find your experimental value of acceleration due to gravity.
Find percent error of experimental value and actual value.
